Description:

DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE PARMELEE-DOHRMANN CO. OF LOS ANGELES (AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE TAG), BUT DESPITE THEIR MAIN BUSINESS OF FINE CHINA, POTTERY, ETC. IT APPEARS "HOUSEWARES, ETC." WERE SECONDARY IN IMPORTANCE. COULDN'T FIND A PICTURE OF THIS ONLINE, OR A HISTORY ON IT. I OPENED THE CASE ONCE I GOT IT HOME FROM A LOCAL ESTATE, AND THE TURNTABLE STARTED GOING AROUND! I LET IT RUN FOR PERHAPS 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT RAN OUT OF STEAM. TURN OF THE CENTURY ANTIQUE, FOR CERTAIN. HEAVY, RUGGED CASE WITH REINFORCED CORNERS WITH DECORATIVE METAL (BRASS?) & CARRYING HANDLE. LOCK-SNAP IS MISSING PART OFTHE MECHANISM, BUT OTHERWISE, IF YOU'VE GOT AN OLD 78 RPM....WHO KNOWS?
